Every eSIM.me card includes a license that determines how many eSIM profiles you can manage and which devices can manage your card.

Choosing the right license helps you get the best experience from your eSIM.me card and can save you from needing upgrades or transfers later.

This guide explains the differences between SINGLE, MULTI, and OMNI licenses and helps you decide which one is right for you.

How eSIM.me Licenses Work

Your eSIM.me license is attached directly to your eSIM.me card.

The license determines:

  • How many eSIM profiles you can manage
  • Which devices can manage the card
  • Whether a transfer license may be required when changing devices

Your license does not affect your mobile service. It only affects how the eSIM.me card can be managed through the eSIM.me App.

Understanding the License Types

SINGLE Licenses

SINGLE licenses are designed for users who manage their eSIM.me card from one device.

With a SINGLE license:

  • The card can be managed by one device
  • You can install, download, enable, and delete eSIM profiles on that device
  • If you want to manage the card on another device later, a transfer license is required

A SINGLE license is a good choice if you use one phone and do not expect to change devices frequently.

MULTI Licenses

MULTI licenses are designed for users who use multiple devices of the same brand.

With a MULTI license:

  • The card can be managed by multiple devices
  • All devices must belong to the same brand
  • No transfer license is required when moving between supported devices of the same brand

Examples:

  • Samsung → Samsung ✔
  • Samsung → Samsung Tablet ✔
  • Google → Google ✔

If you move to a different brand, a transfer license is required.

Examples:

  • Samsung → Google ✖
  • Samsung → Xiaomi ✖

A MULTI license is a good choice if you regularly change devices within the same ecosystem.

OMNI Licenses

OMNI licenses provide the highest level of flexibility.

With an OMNI license:

  • The card can be managed by multiple devices
  • Devices can be from different brands
  • No transfer license is required when changing between supported brands

Examples:

  • Samsung ✔
  • Google ✔
  • Xiaomi ✔
  • OnePlus ✔

OMNI is ideal for users who frequently switch devices or use phones from different manufacturers.

Which License Should I Choose?

Choose SINGLE If:

  • You use one primary phone
  • You rarely change device
  • You only need basic management flexibility

Choose MULTI If:

  • You own several devices from the same brand
  • You regularly replace your phone with a newer model from the same manufacturer
  • You want to avoid transfer licenses within the same ecosystem

Choose OMNI If:

  • You use devices from different brands
  • You frequently change phones
  • You want the maximum flexibility available
  • You never want to worry about brand restrictions

What Is a Transfer License?

A transfer license allows a new device to manage your eSIM.me card.

Managing a card includes:

  • Downloading eSIM profiles
  • Installing eSIM profiles
  • Enabling or disabling eSIM profiles
  • Deleting eSIM profiles

A transfer license is only required when your current license does not already authorize the new device to manage the card.

For example:

  • SINGLE → New device = Transfer required
  • MULTI → Same brand = No transfer required
  • MULTI → Different brand = Transfer required
  • OMNI → Any supported device = No transfer required

Can I Upgrade My License?

Yes. You can upgrade your eSIM.me license at any time.

Common upgrade paths include:

  • SINGLE 2 → SINGLE 5
  • SINGLE → MULTI
  • SINGLE → OMNI
  • MULTI → OMNI

Upgrading allows you to increase your eSIM storage capacity or gain greater device flexibility without replacing your eSIM.me card.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does my license move with my phone?

No. Your license is attached to your eSIM.me card.

Can I use my eSIM.me card in another phone?

Yes. An active eSIM profile can still be used in another device by moving the card. However, managing the card on that device depends on your license.

Can I upgrade later if my needs change?

Yes. All licenses can be upgraded, except OMNI 15, which is the highest available license.

Conclusion

The eSIM.me license system is designed to give you the flexibility that matches your needs.

If you use one phone, a SINGLE license may be all you need. If you manage several devices from the same brand, MULTI provides greater flexibility. If you want complete freedom across different brands and devices, OMNI is the most powerful option available.
